This was the confronting offer allegedly proposed by celebrity fashion photographer Terry Richardson to English model Emma Appleton, who has since gone public with the proposition in an attempt to call him out.

Appleton posted a screengrab of the text to her Instagram and Twitter channels over night, claiming the photographer, who directed Miley Cyrus’s provocative film clip to her number one smash, Wrecking Ball, offered her a spot in the pages of fashion bible Vogue in exchange for sex.

“Um what,” she posted alongside the photo, adding, “yeah, I was like whaaat and he said yes or no?”

“I just said um no I’m not your girl, bye ha.

“This industry is f**ked up.

“I’ve been modelling for 5 years and I’ve never had this before, it doesn’t make it okay.

“That’s the worst bit about it.”

But representatives for Richardson have questioned the legitimacy of the claims, telling Buzzfeed’s Kate Aurthur the screenshot was “obviously a fake” and accusing Appleton of doctoring the image.

A representative of Terry Richardson says RE the Emma Appleton text: "This is obviously a fake. Terry did not send this text."

The posts have since been deleted, and Appleton’s Twitter profile has disappeared, but not before she left a parting gift: “The fact people think this is acceptable blows my f**king mind. See ya.”

News_Image_File: Appleton posted this tweet before removing her profile.

This isn’t the first time Richardson has been accused of sexually inappropriate behaviour. In March 2010 Danish model and filmmaker Rie Rasmussen accused him of manipulating young models in the hopes they will “take their clothes off and takes pictures of them they will be ashamed of”.

Since, numerous other models have come forward with similar stories, but no charges have been laid.
